Default Ill try to answer all????????

*West Coast didnt install the motor, it was ordered by weld motorsports for a blower application and they installed it. BIB where did you get the Mill and what are the specs?

*Im sure the broken valve head did most of the damage. The springs looked good, the retainer was still on, the piston clearance was fine because these were low compression pistons (not to mention it was a Jasper built) they were Manley valves, well, 15 of them still are!

*I do love chebbies but the cost of new headers and all other mods sould put it through the roof! Besides the distributor is on the wrong end, not to mention the $$$$$ I have tied up in my injection and blower system which is all custom fabricated..

*I do like the 4.6 but see previous bullet.

* the motor had very few miles on it when i got it. The car had never been driven regularly as it had never been registered to drive.Weld Motorsports just used it to advertise the wheels.

*Im accually considering parting out my engine and installing a Viper drivetrain (stock reliability) with dual superchargers...........
I see them on Ebay all the time.
